"The past few years have been a rich season of challenge and growth for me. This "troubling of the waters" in my life has in turn become the catalyst for some of the best work of my career. Time's steady march reminds me that there is more of the road behind me now then there is ahead of me on my journey. That reality brings the privilege of participating in God's Kingdom work through my artistic gifts into ever sharper focus. I have a fresh passion and a sense of urgency of my call; my music. The wrestling with my own humanity and faith adventure spur me on to try to write songs of beauty that are anchored in biblical truths. They are like musical snapshots of the hope, mystery and joy of my Christian experience and I share them in the hope that they might be some small gift of encouragement to others. There's almost nothing more powerful than a story worth telling, told well. For 37 years I have been striving to do just that. That goal keeps me stretching for the next artistic high water mark.

From the beginning of my new life in Christ, it was clear to me that Jesus is intimately acquainted with and profoundly relevant to every facet of our humanity and our culture. It struck me that the most constructive thing to do with my talents was to write songs that would portray that truth. I believe that music is endowed with something akin to a spiritual property. It has a way of circumventing the armor of the human heart and speaking deeply to our souls. In the process simple stories framed in song bring Jesus into closer proximity to us. Music is a gift from Heaven and I'm convinced that God created it not only as a tool for worship but as a vehicle to bring joy to his children and communicate his timeless truth." Randy Stonehill
